A special mention to my favourite youtube comment (so far – I’m sure there will be many more):

Who? What?

Hippy, bookworm, feminist, editor, treehugger. Has lots of scars on her knees from years of walking and reading at the same time. Likes to knit and say mean things about the papers on Sundays over breakfast.
